The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 6 The Carriage Covered in Black Cloth

"Who said I'll eat it for you?" Meng Xiaoshu rolled his eyes and changed his mind. "Tell me first, how many good deeds should I do to invite the other four old people out?"

"This..." Old Man Shui looked distressed, "Good deeds can also be divided into big and small, how do you ask me to calculate the exact amount?"

"If you're not sure, here's what to eat..." Meng Xiaoshu took out a piece of pastrami from the oil-paper bag, with a sly smile in his eyes.

The chef of Yaoyuelou is well-deserved of his reputation. Even if the beef is cold, it is still fragrant.Gusts of breeze sent the smell of meat to Old Man Shui's nose, he couldn't help swallowing, pinched his fingers, and counted solemnly: "Good deeds can be roughly divided into three grades, the best are those that benefit the country, The middle is beneficial to the family, and the lower is beneficial to the individual. Calculated according to the smallest "individual", if you complete nine, ninety, nine hundred, and nine thousand pieces respectively, you can make gold, wood, fire, and earth The four old immortals appeared. Of course, the order can be determined by you. For example, the old man appeared because you wanted water just now."

"So much?" Meng Xiaocom couldn't help but frowned, "What if the Yu family benefits?"

"About three, thirty, three hundred, three thousand..."

"What about the country?" Meng Xiaocom continued to ask.

"Just one piece." The old man Shui stroked his gray beard, "One piece can make the five of us appear together, but this kind of chance is very rare. It seems to have happened only once in the past, and it can't be counted."

"Which time?" Meng Xiaocom was curious.

"That time with Shennong." Old Man Shui recalled.

"Shen Nong? He was also the owner of this Linglong pendant?" Meng Xiaosu almost lost her voice in surprise, "I always thought that benefiting the country meant peace and chaos."

"Of course it's not just about peace, war and chaos. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and saved countless descendants from being poisoned by mistake. Isn't this beneficial to the country? To be precise, it's not for the country, but for the world. But it's a pity, he The time to get the Linglong Pendant was relatively late, and it was not until the moment of death that we were awakened." The old man shook his head and sighed.

Meng Xiaocom pondered for a while, then asked: "Is it not only necessary to do good deeds, but also to see some results to count?"

"Of course, no one knows how big a good deed will be in the end. If it can benefit the country in the later stage, but it is only beneficial to the individual at the beginning. Wouldn't it be unfair to you to count only at the beginning?"

"No," Meng Xiaocomo thought about it, and quickly found the loophole here, "If I met a beggar and gave him a sum of money, he was happy to use it to spend time and wine, but at a young age, he would lose money." Died of willow disease. If I don't give him the money, he can live to be 90 years old in peace, according to what you said, I have committed a crime?"

"This..." Old Man Shui was also stunned. He had obviously never thought about this question, and he said angrily, "Little girl, you are not ashamed to keep saying 'flower and willow disease'!"

Meng Xiaoshu shrugged: "This is the most euphemistic way of saying it. Tell me quickly, am I right?"

The old man Shui thought for a while, and finally shook his head: "It's his own destiny, and you can't blame it. As long as your intentions are good and you really want to do good deeds, no matter what the final result is, it can't be regarded as your fault." .”

"Then I'm relieved." Meng Xiaocom smiled slightly, "I've already thought of a good deed that will benefit the country."

"What is it?" Old Man Shui asked hesitantly.He can read people's hearts, and he has already noticed Meng Xiaocom's thoughts, but he still can't believe it.

Meng Xiaosuo intertwined her hands, quietly watching the fish swimming in the bottom, not so much answering the old man Shui's question, but rather talking to herself: "For this world, change a wise king."

Only by assisting a wise king can the world be truly stable, and those who are as loyal as father and elder brother will not die wronged.If you have this kind of thought in yourself, then it can't be counted as revenge, but should be counted as doing good deeds, isn't it?

Suspicion flashed across Old Man Shui's wrinkled face: "You really think so, aren't you just making excuses for revenge?"

Meng Xiaocom shook her head lightly. Even she herself couldn't tell what the answer to this question was.Passing the food in her arms to old man Shui, she squeezed the Linglong pendant and left the space.

It was almost evening outside, and the setting sun lit half of the sky transparently, like the reflection of a dying person.From time to time, birds returning to their nests pass by, bringing wisps of cooking smoke into the distance.

Asuka still has a nest, but I, Meng Xiaosuo, have no shelter. Speaking of which, I have to thank the emperor, empress and prince.

Aunt Zhao's family is safe and sound, Yun Feitian probably won't come.Even if he came, so what, Jiangyang robbers, robbing the rich and giving to the poor... These don't mean that he will betray the court and his father. Hard to say.A playful wry smile rose from the corner of Meng Xiaocom's mouth, quietly watching the sun go down, thinking carefully while walking into the mountains.

The light disappeared, the mountains fell into darkness, and the shadows were like thousands of giants.After a while, she walked to the foot of the mountain, but saw a group of officers and soldiers patrolling disgruntled.

"First Yun Feitian came, and now such a thing happened, is the imperial court trying to exhaust us to death?" An older man complained.

The young man next to him sighed: "Hey, this is called taking the money from selling vegetables and worrying about working hard."

Meng Xiaoshu stepped forward, and was about to ask the question, when suddenly a tall and thin man stopped him: "What are you doing?"

"I went to pick wild vegetables in the mountains." Meng Xiaosuo made up a letter.As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I found my own loopholes - it was getting late, wild animals were infested, how could the daughter of an ordinary family dare to go into the mountains alone to pick wild vegetables?

Fortunately, because she was just a thin and frail little girl, that person was not wary, waved his hand, and said: "Let's go, hurry up, the magistrate will come later and arrest you, you can Don't cry!"

Meng Xiaosuo immediately ran away, but she didn't run very far. She hid on a locust tree and quietly watched the movement at the foot of the mountain.

On the tip of the moon, a familiar figure finally appeared, with a fat face, small eyes, and a big belly. Who is it but Duan Tai?

"Is there any movement?" Meng Xiaocom heard him ask.

"Grandpa, there's nothing happening, it's just that a little girl has come." The tall and thin man who stopped Meng Xiaosuo before said flatteringly.

No wonder he was so stupid to be an officer and soldier. So Meng Xiaoshu scoffed at the fact that he was related to Duan Tai.

Although Duan Tai is a corrupt official, he is not stupid, and immediately reprimanded him viciously: "Little girl? There are a lot of little girls in that chaotic party, and all of them are much better than you in skill. Don’t understand? Have you seen what it looks like?”

"See clearly." The tall and thin man nodded.

"Are you from Niu Village?" Duan Tai asked.

"No." said the tall thin man.

"No?" Duan Tai suddenly became angry again, "This is a remote village with no roads. Who would come here for no reason? Isn't that little girl a villain? Tell me, what does she look like? I'll ask someone to draw it." A portrait, I will post a wanted warrant tomorrow."

Hearing this, Meng Xiaocom was startled.

"Oh," the tall and thin man scratched his head with an innocent face, "he's very ugly, with an oval face and two scars on his face..."

"Wait," Duan Tai interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Are you wearing a water-red blouse, lotus root white skirt, and a golden step on your head?"

"Water red blouse and lotus root white skirt are right, but I didn't see the pearl hairpin. Uncle, how did you know?" the tall and thin man asked curiously.

"Because the clothes and the pearl hairpin belong to my family!" Duan Tai said angrily.

"So, she's still a thief?" The thin and tall man's mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing his yellow teeth, "Next time we meet, I will definitely beat her up!"

"Smack you! That's from the Ninth Young Master. Be careful. When you see her on the street, you should obediently give way. You should treat her like an aunt, you know?" Duan Tai exhorted angrily.

"Grandma? Isn't that your wife?" The tall and thin man chuckled.

When Duan Tai saw his stupid appearance, he became very angry, and was about to curse a few words, when suddenly he heard the sound of horseshoes.Looking back, a group of officers and soldiers came from a distance with a carriage. The carriage was covered by black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
